歌曲歌詞
I was standing by my window yesterday morning
Without a thought of worry or of care
When I saw the postman coming up the pathway
When he handed me a letter edged in black
Well He rang the bell and whistled as he waited
Then he said; "Good morning to you Jack"
But he little knew the sorrow he had brought me
When he handed me a letter edged in black
With trembling hand I took this letter from him
I broke the seal and this is what it said:
"Come home my boy your dear old father wants you
Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead "
The last words that your mother ever uttered
Tell my boy I want him to come back
My eyes are blurred my poor old heart is breaking I'm writing you this letter edged in black "
I bowed my head in sorrow and in sadness The sunshine of my life it all had fled When the post man brought that letter yesterday morning
"Saying come home my boy your dear old mother's dead "
"Forget those angry words that wish i never spoken "
"You know I never mean them don't you Jack "
"May the angels bear as witness I am asking "
"Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black "
